May Safety Challenge

Thank you to everyone who participated in the May Safety Challenge organized by the Safety Action team! Knowing the location of your nearest AED, fire extinguisher, and first aid kit is important in case you need to respond quickly to an emergency! Don’t forget, look for the evacuation routes posted in each facility to know your nearest exits!

Those who submitted the completed Safety Challenge worksheet were entered into a Safety Raffle!

A round of applause for Shelly Holmes, Community Events & Development Supervisor for winning the Safety Raffle prize! She receives a travel first aid kit! Stay tuned for the next Safety Challenge!
